For more information about event types, refer to Fault Management.
The Events widget only includes events from products that are in your AOR.
The x-axis represents the number of occurrences of a particular event severity during the
selected time period. If you move your mouse over a bar, a tool tip shows the number of events
with that severity level during the selected time period. Also, for each severity, the cumulative
number of traps, application events, and security events are reported next to the horizontal
bar. If Syslog messages are included, then they are included in the count. To conserve space,
the number is shown as is or truncated to the nearest 1000("K") or 1,000,000("M").
By default, Syslog events are included in the summary; however, since Syslog events occur at a
much higher frequency than other events and therefore could askew the bars for the other
events, you can exclude Syslog events. If they're excluded, they will not be displayed in the
legend. Users' selections are persisted (per user per server).
